2015 Map of Crawford

About this map

Crawford sits near the southern boundary of this survey, marking a centered point of interest in Rice County as the terrain transitions toward the neighboring Ellsworth County line. The landscape is defined by the dendritic patterns of Bluff Creek and Horse Cr, while the northeastern corner of the map reveals the southern reaches of Kanopolis Lake. A notable density of local family and community history is preserved in the placement of several small cemeteries, including Scates Cem, Forest Grove Cem, Liscum Cem, and Click Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like Rush Field, are connected by a rigid grid of local roads such as Co Rd 107 and Ave S, illustrating the enduring township and range surveying system that shaped this agricultural region. The map provides a clear view of rural settlement patterns just before the mid-2010s.
